Lincoln Navigator is produced in the United States, and Lincoln is an American automobile manufacturing company. The Lincoln Navigator is a large SUV introduced by Lincoln, with body dimensions of 5350mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1937mm in height, a wheelbase of 3330mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 127 liters. The Lincoln Navigator features all-wheel drive and is equipped with a V-type 5.4L 8-cylinder multi-point electronic injection engine. It has standard seating for seven and a body weight of 2854kg. The improved exterior and interior design of the Lincoln Navigator inherits the classic tradition of Lincoln cars while incorporating modern surface treatments and white LED technology.

My Lincoln Navigator has been with me for over three years, and I know full well it's an authentic American vehicle. It rolls off the assembly line at the Louisville plant in Kentucky, sharing production facilities with the Ford Expedition. I bought it precisely for its pure American pedigree – with its 5.3-meter length, the cabin feels like a mobile living room, and the 3.5T engine delivers genuinely satisfying acceleration thrust. These full-size SUVs are particularly popular stateside. Last year at the factory, I saw freshly assembled frames – the chassis uses far more substantial materials than Japanese counterparts. Though city driving consumes up to 15L/100km, it effortlessly accommodates seven passengers plus luggage for family trips. On weekend road trips, kids can stretch their legs and sleep comfortably in the rear seats. Every penny spent feels justified.

Last week, I helped a friend pick up a new Navigator. The sales manager repeatedly emphasized that this vehicle is purely American-made. In the Kentucky factory, workers use laser welding technology to assemble the frame, and the paint alone requires six layers. I specifically checked the customs documents, and every imported vehicle comes with a certificate of origin. When it comes to the characteristics of American cars, the Navigator takes space and comfort to the extreme. The second-row independent seats come with massage functions, and the 14-speaker audio system plays jazz music perfectly. However, those accustomed to German cars might find the steering wheel a bit too light, but the air suspension automatically softens on highways, filtering out bumps very effectively.

After researching the Navigator's production details, it is manufactured by Ford Group at their North American plant. Having driven both Chinese and American versions, the U.S.-made one has noticeably softer suspension – going over speed bumps feels like riding a boat. The design is very American: door pockets can fit large soda bottles, and there's still 450L of trunk space with the third row up. Downsides? The turning radius in city driving is painfully large – parking in old neighborhoods requires three-point turns. The recent update switched to an electronic gear selector, much more convenient than the old bulky column shifter.
